Kim Leadbeater on assisted dying, fractious politics and Jo Cox

Next week, MPs will get their first opportunity in almost a decade to vote on extending the choices available to terminally ill people at the end of their lives. A contentious subject, The Assisted Dying bill is being championed by MP Kim Leadbeater, sister of the murdered MP Jo Cox.

Lewis joined Kim in her parliamentary office to talk about the bill, her optimism for the future, and the legacy of her sister.
